I'll add this info to the OP next thread. Anyone got any others to add?

Charging:
Santander (was Abbey; so maybe this will apply to any accounts that were Bradford & Bingley, and any other banks that have been absorbed by Santander)

Just off the subject of Mystery Shopping, has anyone signed up to any online surveys to earn extra money? I have with a few, and some of them are great and others are dreadful and I have blocked them from my inbox. Panelbase is a good one, I've just claimed a £10 cheque from them - took about 6 surveys to get to £10 and they don't come around very often but they're fun and usually only take 10 minutes.

If you want to sign up with them, please let me know and I will send you a referral email. Just PM me. I'll only need your name and email address. I will get 20p for every new member I refer.

This honestly isn't a scam, they are really good. Another good one is YouGov, but you have to get to £50 before you can claim your money and GlobalTestMarket who have sent me samples sometimes and I've claimed a £30 cheque from them in the past. - I don't get any pay for referring friends with the last two.

Don't really have time to do surveys now mystery shopping has taken over my spare time! Always make an effort to do the Pinecone ones as the rewards are good. Have signed up to Lightspeed, Valued Opinions and Globaltestmarket, all of which I recommend. I found Toluna to be a waste of time. A lot of work for little reward and there was always a delay in them sending the vouchers out.

Getting on the Tescohomepanels 'panel' is worthwhile too, surveys are mind-numbingly boring, but occasionally get decent products to sample.

(especially if you have a littl'un at home, seem to be lots of surveys for nappies / pull ups / wipes from time to time.)

I used to do Pinecone Research but haven't had anything for years, and Lightspeed Panel are quite good.

Pinecone are great. £3 a survey in either supermarket vouchers or straight into your paypal account - you decide. Hard to get into though, you have to be referred by an existing member when they're in their recruiting mode.

I do Valued Opinions, Lightspeed, Ipsos and have done Panel base in the past. Get the occasional Pinecone 1 but not very often, however you get paid each time you do 1 so no waiting around to build up Points!

Personally I did a fast food breakfast at 8-30 and haven't eaten anything since...although it will soon be teatime... and then a bank that didn't go to plan...thought I wouldn't get paid as rang MS company as instructed but they said just input info and told me which bits to skip...so all good with the world....:)
